Title: Apparatus to be Employed in Building Walls of Concrete or the like.
Inventor: BOWEN RICHARD
Filed: 1908-03-12
Granted: 1909-03-11
Abstract: 5574. Bowen, R. March 12. Moulding buildings in situ.-Travelling moulds for use in building concrete walls are closed at one end, to which the mould sides are pivoted so as to rotate about a vertical axis. The sides are of such length and depth that they can grip the courses already laid. In moulding the first block of each course, a temporary end completes the mould. The permanent mould end c has a base b which carries the pivots d for the mould sides a, and also a bracket supporting a roller with a V-shaped edge to engage a slot x in a plate w laid upon a lower course of work, the slot x being also engaged by a stud on the bottom of the base b. The mould sides a may be either of continuous or skeleton form, and may have removable inner pattern plates i which are secured by bolts or screws passing through slots in the sides a. The mould sides are clamped to the end c and to the work respectively by pivoted clamps l provided with adjustable jaws, and by a clamp o, the arms of which pass through slots in the sides. Secured at the top of the sides are brackets q, forming bearings for a shaft r carrying two grooved rollers s, which run on rails t placed on top of the block last made. To allow the mould sides to be rotated from a block just made so that the mould can be moved along to the position for moulding the next block, the brackets q have the holes widened out at each end, or bearings pivoted to the brackets may be used. When a wall of varying thickness has to be built, mould plates of the required breadth are secured to the end c, which in this case is made to correspond with the thinnest portion of the wall ; the pivots d for the sides a are adjusted in slots in the base b, and the brackets q are moved along the shaft r. For the second course, and where the mould cannot be moved along its rails as above described, support is obtained by plates passing through slots in the sides and resting on the work below. The sides a and end c may be provided with bars of suitable section to form keying slots in the moulded blocks.

Title: Improvements in or relating to Lifting Jacks
Inventor: LAKE ARTHUR ERNEST
Filed: 1908-04-15
Granted: 1909-04-15
Abstract: 8336. Lake, A. E. April 15. Lifting - jacks. - Comprises means for enabling lifting-jacks of the rack- and-pinion type to be rapidly adjusted in height. Fig. 4 shows a view, partly in section, of the lifting- mechanism of the jack. The rack b<1> of the lifting- bar b is actuated by a pinion e on the shaft of which is a worm-wheel (not shown) driven by the worm g. The shaft of the pinion e is mounted in slots in the sides of the enlargement c of the standard a of the jack, such slots being inclined upwards and outwards similarly to the slot d in which the pinion e is situated. For rapid adjustment the lifting-bar b is raised by hand, carrying the pinion e with it until the curved slots cause the pinion to disengage with the rack. At the same time the worm-wheel will have been lifted out of engagement with the worm, so that the lifting-bar can be raised freely. To lower rapidly, either the pinion shaft is raised until the pinion disengages with the rack and the bar drops, or the jack is inverted so that the pinion falls out of gear and allows the bar to be pushed in by hand.

Patent GB-190819428-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in or connected with Mechanism for Controlling Compressed Air Engines.
Filed: 1908-09-16
Granted: 1909-09-16
Abstract: 19,428. Mavor & Coulson, and Grafton, W. F. Sept. 16. Compressed-air engines are controlled from a distance by regulating the positions of the supply valve and the link of the engine valve-gear from a controller. The va!ve B, Fig. 1, and the slotted link C are each connected to a piston in cylinders E, F, which are at their outer ends in connexion with the controller G through pipes E<1>, F<1>. The controller, Fig. 3, consists of a plug valve J mounted in a cylinder which has (1) a port H connected through a pipe H<1> to the main compressed-air supply-pipe D, (2) two air-delivery ports E<2>, F<2> connected to the cylinders E, F, and (3) two exhaust ports E<3>, F<3>; the plug valve has three main passages E<4>, F<4>, H<4> and a further passage E<5> passing behind the main part of this valve. If the link normally assumes a position for, say, forward running, in order to start the engine in this direction, the plug valve is turned so as to place the ports E', H in communication, so that compressed air from the main supply will enter the outer end of the cylinder E and open the valve ; to start the engine for reverse running the plug valve is moved so as to bring the ports F', H into communication, the passage E<5> permitting compressed air to flow also to the port E<2>; in consequence, the link will be moved into its other position and the main valve will be opened. To stop the engine the plug valve is moved into the position shown in Fig. 3, the outer ends of the cylinders E, F being connected to exhaust through the ports E<3>, F<3>; the link is then returned to its normal position by weights, springs, or other means, and the pistons E, F are returned by compressed air entering at the inner ends of the cylinders direct from the main supply pipe D through the pipes K, the pistons having a smaller diameter at their inner ends. With the link normally assuming a neutral position, two cylinders, or a double-acting cylinder with means such as springs M, Fig. 6, and a cross-bar L for returning the piston to its central position, are employed for the valve-gear, and a modified controller is used. The invention is stated to be particularly adapted for use in conjunction with compressed-air haulage engines as used with transporter carriages of the type described in Specification No. 19,327, A.D. 1905, Abridgment Class Lifting &c.].

Granted: 1909-06-24
Abstract: 20,785. BlÚriot, L. Oct. 4, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Launching; propelling; steering.-In order to enable areoplanes to raise themselves without a preliminary horizontal run, the propellers are permanently or temporarily arranged to direct a current of air on to the inclined supporting-wings fixed to the frame. The propellers b, Fig. 1, are mounted on the lateral ends of the wings c on shafts n, Fig. 5, driven through a universal joint o from the shaft m; and in the position shown they are adapted to direct a current of air on to the wings so as to submit them to an elevating force. To set the axis of the propellers parallel to the longitudinal axis of the machine after the start has been effected, the shackle p, through which the shaft m passes, is rotated in its support s by the wire u and crank t. Alternatively, a series of propellers b<1>, Fig. 2, may be mounted on the front edges of the wings c ; and to prevent horizontal movement of the machine it may be temporarily connected to a fixed point, or to a roller and shackle k, Fig. 4, adapted to run up a pole l, the machine being released when the shackle reaches the top. Machines having an ordinary arrangement of propellers may be started in this way. The series of propellers may be driven by chain or belt gearing. In a bevel-gearing device for driving the arrangement of propellers shown in Fig. 2, though applicable also to that shown in Fig. 1, the shafts b<2>, Fig. 8, are mounted in a support y, which is capable of rotation about the driving-axis x<1> within a sleeve on the wing c in order to modify the position of the propellers.
